Software Used

Synopsis

An interpretation of Michael Jackson's hit, Off the Wall, using motion graphics. Fast-paced visuals were used to match the rhythm of Michael's iconic song while maintaining cohesiveness through smart transitions and legibility. Adobe After Effects and Illustrator were utilized to make the product with a bit of Photoshop for tweaks. There were a lot of changes made throughout the production. The color choices of blue, yellow, and pink was a result of trying to capture the essence of the late 70's that would soon turn into neon. I really wanted this music video be something anyone can vibe and dance to.

Behind the Scenes

Multiple passes were done throughout the process of making this video because of its fast paced nature. From color choices, to composition of certain scenes, and overall pacing it was really something I had to put extra hours in.
